Local syntax check of a local file from the z/OS Projects view

Follow these steps to do a local syntax check of a local file from the z/OS Projects view.

Before you begin

Limitations:
  • Local syntax check is deprecated. This action is available only on Windows.
  • Local syntax checking does not support shift-out-shift-in (SOSI) sources. The importer that is used to do the local syntax check supports only UTF-8 encoding. Translating CP-930 and other SOSI sources into UTF-8 alters the column locations for some characters, and this alteration results in unexpected errors.
Before you check syntax locally, you must set local build options. You must do this action only once.

Procedure

  1. Select the file that contains the code you want to check.
  2. Right-click and select Local Syntax Check or press Ctrl+Alt+L. The local compiler is started to perform the syntax check.
